Transparency changes background color

[Anonymous]

Hi All

I need to have the background of a visual ≈50% transparent this changes the color so that it doesn´t mach the other visuals.

Does anyone know if there is a way to sort this out?

Can you please explain a bit more with screenshots

in the meantime you can change the transparency of background by going to properties of visual

This two textboxes has the same color, but diffrent Transparency. Changing transparency in a visual changes the color. My issue is that I need to keep the color of my visuals matching but I also need to have Transparency at 50% for one of the visuals.
Maby some one knows how much 1% of transparency changes the color so I can compensat the hex or somthing?

For the testing of how much 1% compensates the RGB for Black(00000), I did test in Mspaint using a color picker for each transparent color..

It increases the value by 2.55 for each red, blue and green. But since you cannot put 2.5 in RGB format so it has to be 3 ,5,8,10 ... 25 for 10% .... and 255 for 100%.

Once you get the RGB Value for your color you can easily convert it to HEXA

Hi @Anonymous 

You can create a measure with below code 

Measure = "rgba(0, 0, 0,0.5)"

 Now use it as formula in your background color

Thanks,

Ok @Samarth_18 you´r solution works if i add the measure to the dataset that I´m connected to but not if I build the measure in the report. 

So my problem are solved, thanks a bunch 👍

Intressting, but I don´t understand were/how to use it as a formula in the background color. I´ve tride fx and use the messure there? 

[Samarth_18]

Yes just click on the "FX" of the background option for the visual which you want to change:-

and select measure as field value

Note:- You can pass your RGB color accordingly and for transparency you can pass value at last. Like i have mentioned 0.5 for 50%.

I clearly I´m missing something, can´t hit ok here. meassure is exat copy of yours.

Click on "TEST color " then click "OK"

[Anonymous]

Well I´m not that inept, 😂

Clicking "TEST color" is not possible.

Looking att you screenshoot Your´s just say Color over "format by"
My says Color - Background 

Maby I´m in the wrong place?

I clicked fx under background for visual

[Samarth_18]

You are changing background of text box right?if yes then it will work there also.

Can you please share PBIX after removing sensitive data?

Ok, I´m in direct querry for this one so I can´t . But when I tested it in an import repport you´re trick works like a charm.

Maby it´s the direct querry that´s spoiling the fun, I´ll look in to that and get back.
By the way @Samarth_18 thanks for all the help 🙏
